Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"All the people in the world will be taught by the saints. What a grand occasion this will be."

The old party members were all dripping with nectar, and everyone was so excited that they could not control themselves.

The old party believed that they abided by the principles of saints, but Fan Zheng's concept of free compulsory education was deeply rooted in their hearts. Once all people can attend school for free, it will be the most glorious moment of Confucianism.

"This is impossible! The Song Dynasty was already financially tight. There were too many soldiers, too many officials, and too much money. How could there be enough money to open many public schools and worship so many masters?" Zhang Dun reacted after being shocked.

Free compulsory education requires the court to pay for the enrollment of children across the country, which is not a small sum.

In order to solve the crisis in the Song Dynasty, the new party worked hard for twenty years and fought cruel party struggles with the old party. Only now has the Song Dynasty improved slightly.

If the court were to bear the burden of hundreds of thousands of disciples, I am afraid that all the efforts of the new party would be in vain and the Song Dynasty would once again fall into financial crisis.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "That's why free compulsory education will be divided into three steps. The first step is compulsory education for the whole city and the second step is compulsory education for all people. Both can be achieved with very little money from the court. Once the Song Dynasty unified the world , without too many troops, the 1.2 million army only needs to be reduced by 30%, and I am afraid that it can provide free compulsory education."

Manchao nodded slightly.

The largest expenditure of the Song Dynasty was the military expenditure of 1.2 million troops, which accounted for almost 70% of the court expenses. If the Song Dynasty unified the world and there were no threats from Xixia and Liao, there would naturally be no need to support such a large army. There is enough finance to provide free and compulsory education.

"Theoretically, free compulsory education is achievable." Zhao Xuping said with excitement.

As long as the military expenditure of the Song Dynasty is reduced, free compulsory education is not impossible, and the civil and military achievements of the Song Dynasty will be proud of all previous dynasties.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "I believe that free education is just the beginning. When the Song Dynasty unifies the world, not only will military expenditures decrease, but taxes will definitely increase. I believe that it is not impossible to achieve free medical care for all in the future."

"Free medical care!"

All the officials in the court were in an uproar, and they all looked at Fan Zheng in shock.

They did not expect that Fan Zheng was not satisfied with free compulsory education, but also envisioned free medical care for all. To provide free medical treatment for everyone in the world, it would require much more money than free compulsory education.

Zhao Xu was shocked again. If the Song Dynasty implemented free education and free medical care, the people in the world would have little education and no medical care. What a grand occasion it would be.

"Is this possible?"

Su Song said in disbelief that as the leader of the Medical Party, universal free medical care was an idea that he had never dreamed of.

"Fan Taicheng, don't talk on paper, do you know what you are talking about?" Zhang Dun said angrily.

The Song Dynasty's finances are limited. Even if free compulsory education can be achieved according to Fan Zheng's theory, if free medical care is added, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty's finances will collapse.

This time, even the old party members opposed it.

For the old party, they are all educated in Confucianism, so they naturally support compulsory education, and are naturally opposed to free medical care by doctors.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "Everyone who is familiar with history books knows that all dynasties in the past dynasties cannot escape the fate of the country for three hundred years. The Song Dynasty is an exception!"

Lu Dafang sneered and asked: "Is it possible that the implementation of free medical care can help the Song Dynasty be passed down to future generations?"

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "As the Prime Minister said, I am not sure that free medical care can be passed down to the Song dynasty for generations to come. However, if a dynasty wants to be passed down for generations to come, it must achieve free education and free medical care."

"Why?" Zhao Xu asked hurriedly.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "We have read through the history books and summarized the lessons of the demise of previous dynasties. The reason is nothing more than rebellious officials and traitors, and the people are living in dire straits."

Zhao Xu looked embarrassed. The Zhao and Song dynasties were founded by rebellious officials and traitors.

Fan Zheng didn't pay attention to Zhao Xu's face and said loudly: "Just think about it, if a dynasty implements free education and all young people are educated by saints, how can there be no place for rebellious ministers and traitors? People who are sick will receive free medical treatment. This way How can the people of the dynasty not support it, and how can it lead to the destruction of the country? This is Wei Chen's strategy to heal the country."

"A strategy to heal the country!"

All the officials in the court remained silent and implemented free medical care and free education. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a dynasty was prosperous, and how could it suddenly perish.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be moved by it, and his heart was surging.

Fan Zheng solemnly said: "If the Song Dynasty advances in these two directions, there is no guarantee that the inheritance will be passed down to all generations. Fan thinks it will not be difficult to break the curse of the dynasty's three hundred years of national destiny. Of course, doctors have just flourished now, and even the hospital is still there." It has not spread all over the cities of the Song Dynasty, and the implementation of free medical care has a long way to go, but Fan believes that doctors will eventually realize it this day."

Zhao Xu laughed and said: "I don't expect that the Song Dynasty will be passed down for eternity. I will be satisfied if it can surpass the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years."

Without Fan Zheng's idea of ​​free medical care and free education, Zhao Xu believed that he could reach the limit of achieving the 400-year national destiny of the Han Dynasty. However, it is obvious that Fan Zheng's proposal gave him a stronger ambition, surpassing the 800-year destiny in two weeks. national destiny.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the officials took orders one after another.

"Rule the country with education as the first priority! According to the decree, the protection between men and women is postponed from the age of seven to nine, and compulsory education for the whole city is tried in Kaifeng City. All boys aged six to nine are required to enter school, and girls are voluntary." Zhao Xu immediately ordered.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He also knew that the Song Dynasty had a strong concept of favoring boys over girls, and it was already the limit to allow girls to voluntarily enroll in school.

In the future, it will only be a matter of course to wait until the schooling of girls becomes more common and then we will force all children to be treated equally.

"On behalf of the Kaifeng students, I would like to thank the officials for their kindness!"

Fan Chunli bowed solemnly.

With Zhao Xu's decree, the age of separation between men and women has been postponed by two years, and there will be no obstacles to compulsory education in Kaifeng City.

Once compulsory education is popularized in Kaifeng City, it will be like a spark that can start a prairie fire. At that time, cities all over the world will follow suit, and the civil governance of the Song Dynasty will reach its peak.

All the officials looked at Fan Chunli with confusion. Facing the impeachment of the officials, Fan Chunli came to Chui Gong Hall and said two sentences. The first sentence directly admitted that the impeachment of the officials was true and confessed. The second sentence was what he just said. Thanks, Fan was defending him almost the entire time.

However, what makes all the officials even more envious and jealous is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that compulsory education in the city must be the idea of ​​his son, the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Fan Chunli did almost nothing to win the title of the founder of compulsory education, and his name will go down in history.

"I'm afraid the real magistrate of Kaifeng City may not be who he is?"

The corners of Baiguan's mouth twitched. Although Fan Chunli was the prefect of Kaifeng, Fan Zheng successively proposed the second and third parties of the medical city. Even the compulsory education in the city was all done by Fan Zheng.

Just like Fan Chunli in Bozhou, Fan Zheng easily ranked his father Fan Chunli's political achievements above all officials without any effort.

Fan Chunli's life can be said to be smooth. In the first half of his life, he was taken care of by his father and second brother, and in the second half of his life, he could benefit from his son and daughter-in-law.
